No prob. I have only poked it around a bit and it seems to work fine for
me for what i needed. Yet, i'm no typist and i've no idea if what the
webpage lists as requirements is factually true. The other very
sophisticated LaTeX package for broken letters seems to be:
http://www.uni-frankfurt.de/~muehlich/tex/texindex.html

If you are more experienced in typesetting and layout rules and can
verify either one of these packages does offer a "best practice", then
i'd be happy to know the outcome of the expertise.

There's demo files as *.tex which suited well enough as a hands-on-demo
to me (running straight down the "Installation" part of the webpage).
Yet i haven't bothered reading them, but rather been using them as a
template to copy the usepackage lines.

Sorry, no idea. I guess upstream is the best place to ask for that.
